They gained 40 yards on one play with an ineligble man downfield flag picked up. 

 

He's the most useless player on the team. He hasn't made one positive play this season. 

You mean to tell me that this guy is useless?!? The wingspan. The range of motion. The passion. Elite!

It's a long read but if you want to escape from the Bills' season for a time this should make you smile

How quickly things change in the NFL.  I remember after beating the Bills in the famous wind game where NE passed 2 times.  Belichick was being lauded as a genius and Mac was going to lead NE to the Super Bowl against Tom Brady and Tampa Bay.  
 

In defense of Mac, I think had he gone to San Fran instead of Trey Lance, he could have been Brock Purdy.  Now he’s too damaged

[stuvian]

They've mishandled him like they did Jim Plunkett. I'll enjoy watching him succeed elsewhere and come back to exact his revenge.

I still just cannot fathom how this team allowed him to drive 75 yards in the final minutes to a game winning touchdown.

 

I mean, that is just a colossal failure. I can't even understand it.

Bend dont break broke.  Any NFL QB can play pitch and catch if a receiver is wide open. Especially when we couldn't tackle for *****. Mac isn't good and he has been terrible this year but he isn't terrible like Wilson is either.  The guy can play.  I think he is just mentally broken.  I'd put him at low end starter but better than a backup.  He is also used to seeing our defense so knows what to expect.

Don't forget all those takes about how Mac Jones had similar numbers to Josh Allen as a rookie so obviously he was going to have the same or even better career.

 

There were people posting graphics about how he had a better rookie season than Tom Brady so obviously he was going to be better than Brady.

Personally I would not go so far as to say salacious…….

Hmmm... it's almost like Jones was chasing karma down but karma decided to slide at the last second... then when Jones eased up so as not to draw a roughing penalty karma kicked him in the junk for good measure... such a shame.

That's the vaunted McDermott prevent. Designed to avoid giving up the huge play in favor of giving up significant chunks of yardage to a team with multiple timeouts. 

 

When it works, we hold them to a long FG try that always is good and then let the chips fall in OT, where we lose. But it's a respectable loss.

They ran a screen to the rt side of the field on their first play.  We forgot how to tackle and their RB gained at least 30-35 yards.  From there it was a pretty foregone conclusion that they were going to beat us on that last drive.  You can blame coaching.  But our defense gets beaten down week after week in the 4th qtr.  I was getting PTSD watching the Niners-Eagles game on Sunday.

Pats need to win every game but ours so they cannot get a top QB in the draft.  Pats need to stay in QB purgatory for a few more years IMO

Under McDaniel the kid played well enough. When he was being mentored by an ex-defensive coach turned defacto OC, he regressed.

 

Not saying he was a great, or even good QB.  But agree if given the right coaching he could have been good enough.  I, for one, am happy how billacheat mismanaged the team over the last few years and killed his progression.

[CSBill]

Should anyone be surprised? In his signature win, he threw two passes

I want to be very, very clear on this and I have stated this here before.

 

A couple of years back a buddy of mine who lived in New England was listening to a local sports show and the topic of discussion was about when Mac Jones will make the Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

When

 

 

 

not if

 

 

 

 

It reveals the sense of entitlement that Pats fans had come to know.  

 

Now they've all had that 2x4 of reality slam 'em across the forehead.  

 

Their dynasty would have been a little bit more tolerable if Brady had been a planned element.  

 

We're one Mo Lewis hit away from Brady never having seen the field, moved on to a different team after his first contract, and being GOAT somewhere else.

The Mac Jones *and* Bailey Zappe experience is why BB will very likely retire

What does Brandon Beane have to do with this?

Bill Simmons did a podcast where he did a redraft of Mac Jones’ draft. After that drafted played 4 games! 😂 he also picked Mac to be mvp and win a SB. 
 

I was so happy when they picked him. He had zero upside and Carries himself like he’s Tom Brady because somehow he won at Alabama. 
 

that said, he just needs one more year to develop. They just need to get a better oline around him, 🥳

He had like 4 good games as a rookie and then the league adjusted to his dink and dunk arm. 
 

they did him no favors but he has no special skills. He is the type of qb that gets you no where unless the team is absolutely loaded around him.

Like at Alabama, and to that degree.  

 

Those situations really don't exist in the NFL.

So this made me realize something else, they're next game is against the Steelers......man that game is going to be awful, we might finally get a 0-0 tie.

 

And of course it's on Thursday Night Football, Al Michaels may hang himself in the booth.

I know it makes your soul dirty....

but don't we all basically have to root for the Pats*** tonight?
